review:
'Terry Fox and Me' by Mary Beth Leatherdale with illustrations by Milan Pavlovic is a picture book about a famous runner and his best friend.

When Doug met Terry, he was better at basketball, but Terry practiced and got better with Doug's help. As they grew, so did their friendship. When Terry found out he had cancer and needed to have his leg amputated, he came up with a crazy plan to raise awareness for cancer. His friend Doug was by his side the whole time.

I knew Terry Fox's story, but didn't know much about Doug. I love that this book is told from his perspective and forms a tribute to a remarkable friend. The illustrations are fun and the story is a great read.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Penguin Random House Canada and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
